      The Central Arctic Ocean is one of the most oligotrophic oceans on Earth because of its sea-ice cover and short productive season. Nonetheless, across the peaks of extinct volcanic seamounts of the Langseth Ridge (87°N, ...

    • Large mesopelagic fishes biomass and trophic efficiency in the open ocean 

      Irigoien, Xabier; Klevjer, Thor A.; Røstad, Anders; Martinez, U.; Boyra, G.; Acuna, J. L.; Bode, A.; Echevarria, F.; Gonzalez-Gordillo, J. I.; Hernández-León, Santiago; Augsti, S.; Aksnes, Dag Lorents; Duarte, C. M.; Kaartvedt, Stein (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2014-02-07)
      With a current estimate of ~1,000 million tons, mesopelagic fishes likely dominate the world total fishes biomass. However, recent acoustic observations show that mesopelagic fishes biomass could be significantly larger ...

    • Life histories determine divergent population trends for fishes under climate warming 

      Wang, Hui-Yu; Shen, Sheng-Feng; Chen, Ying-Shiuan; Kiang, Yun-Kae; Heino, Mikko Petteri (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020-08-14)
      Most marine fish species express life-history changes across temperature gradients, such as faster growth, earlier maturation, and higher mortality at higher temperature. However, such climate-driven effects on life histories ...

    • Macromolecular sheets direct the morphology and orientation of plate-like biogenic guanine crystals 

      Wagner, Avital; Upcher, Alexander; Maria, Raquel; Magnesen, Thorolf; Zelinger, Einat; Raposo, Graca; Palmer, Benjamin (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)
      Animals precisely control the morphology and assembly of guanine crystals to produce diverse optical phenomena in coloration and vision. However, little is known about how organisms regulate crystallization to produce ...

    • MRTF specifies a muscle-like contractile module in Porifera 

      Colgren, Jeffrey John; Nichols, S.A. (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)
      Muscle-based movement is a hallmark of animal biology, but the evolutionary origins of myocytes are unknown. Although believed to lack muscles, sponges (Porifera) are capable of coordinated whole-body contractions that ...
